No. It was not a rhetorical question. My grad professor took a cheap shot at me or, at least, I felt she did. Sometimes I think many of these professors feel threatened of being up-staged by their students.




What if you purposely write in sophisticated sentence structures; that is, sophisticated enough to easily go above the comprehension level of the laymen reader. Would that be considered "convoluted?"


By most normal people, it probably would be, if they knew the meaning of the word. I seem to remember that most news articles are written at something like a 10th grade level, so the average reader could understand.

Your post above is fairly sophisticated writing; sophisticated enough that I would think you would know the definition of "convoluted."

Were you asking a rhetorical question?
